India have got off to a blazing start after the England national cricket team opted to bowl first at the toss. Sanju Samson has taken charge early, smashing 40 off just 19 balls with six fours and two sixes to keep the scoring rate above 11 runs per over.

At the other end, Ishan Kishan has provided quick support with 16 off 9 balls as the pair stitched together a rapid 46-run partnership off 23 deliveries.

India did lose an early wicket when Abhishek Sharma was caught by Phil Salt off Will Jacks for 9, leaving the hosts at 20/1 in the second over. Since then, Samson has kept the pressure firmly on the England attack, taking on bowlers including Sam Curran and Jamie Overton during the powerplay.

With 66 on the board in under six overs, India have laid a strong platform for a big total.
